RCD Espanyol, focus of FBA project

RCD Espanyol collaborate with the Football Business Academy (FBA) as part of its academic training course

RCD Espanyol was one of the clubs chosen by the prestigious Football Business Academy (FBA) as part of its academic training course for candidates.

During the past months, the students worked on a project linked to the Club, where they presented a proposal to expand social media presence in RCD Espanyol’s main international strategic markets.

Mentored by members of the Club’s media & communication department, the students carried out a detailed study of the different projects and contributed different ideas to expand the club's fanbase and establish new links with local fans in each market. The presentation took place at the NOVA School of Business and Economics in Portugal.

In addition to RCD Espanyol, other prestigious clubs such as Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sporting Clube de Portugal, as well as the United Soccer League were chosen as partners and case studies.

The FBA has more than 75 partners in five continents, with the belief that higher education is the key to promoting positive development of the industry. In this regard, we have decided to partner with industry experts to create our programs in Football Business, which train the talented leaders of tomorrow while challenging the status quo.
